I purposely kept pushing It's Okay Not To Be Okay to the side because I knew I'd have to mentally prepare to watch it. I had heard so many people saying they cried while watching and with a title like It's Okay Not To Be Okay, I knew I'd cry too.
When I was first watching this I thought it wasn't that bad. No tears were even starting to form while watching each episode. I thought, what was everyone talking about? Then I got a couple more episodes in and I started to understand. I started to get more and more emotional with each episode I watched. Thank goodness they included comedy to lighten the mood.
There is a big twist in that happens and I was shocked when it did. Afterwards I got upset because I should have seen it coming.
This show is one that will be moving to everyone. Even more so if you've gone through something yourself. I've had a couple situations where I was able to relate to the characters so I was crying like crazy at some parts. I think they did a great job showing different mental health issues and how to deal with them.
A huge applause to the actors in this show! The fact that they don't even have to say anything and I can feel the emotion they're expressing is so impressive. The facial expressions were spot on.
I highly suggest for everyone to watch this! Just make sure you have some tissues nearby.
